Absorbing novel

I thoroughly enjoyed this novel by G J Williams and, apart from a very few mispronunciations, the narration by Bethan Rose Young. Unfortunately my grandfather never taught his London born children Welsh and died when I was a baby as my mother always believed he would have taught me, having time to spend in his old age. I liked hearing the Welsh language and appreciated the fact that the author included it in this novel.
The story was fascinating and I’ve long had an interest in John Dee. I was taken deep into the time period by the author’s excellent writing, she paints a vivid picture of the time and there is a wealth of diverse characters in this novel.
Having looked up her biographical information on Audible I note that she is Welsh by birth but lives in England and like me is an ailurophile (thank goodness Margaretta’s mum knew how to help the kitten!).
I’ve already used a credit on the next instalment, The Wolf’s Shadow (another intriguing title), and look forward to listening to this after a space given to listening to thrillers set in modern times.
Grateful thanks to the author for such an involving, exciting and well written novel.
